4.0 out of 5 stars The needs for the teachers, April 5, 2004

By	Yung-Ming Liu (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Educational Computing: Learning with Tomorrow's Technologies (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

It's a book all teachers should have. If you have any problem when or where in finding the new technology in edcution, it's the one. Once you read Ch8 "Integrating Information Techonlogy into The Curriculum," you will understand the advantage of this book. However, it is too expensive.
